When trolling goes wrong, GNRevo style!

In all seriousness, that is one oddly fascinating bridge with all the signatures, graffiti, and whatnot.  There's just a uniqueness about it.  And it's always happy to me to read when you go somewhere and it takes it back to the 80s/90s and a happier part of childhood, family etc.

The Roy Scheider character in Marathon Man is probably one of the more underated badass 70s characters.

Watched a few movies set in High schools (don't ask me why):

Dazed and Confused .  Finally got through this one.  It nails the 1970s details to the point where I sometimes had to remind myself that it was released/made in 1993.   Curiously, the only two stars that had staying power were Ben Affleck (not usually a fan but he is fine in his role here) and Matthew McConaghy.  Speaking of which,  Wooderson comes off as highly creepy as he's in his 20's and still trying to pick up high school chicks.  Anyway, this is a coming of age story as a lot of plot is seen through Mitch Kramer's viewpoint.   The film also has a "whatever goes in one night" vibe.   I wonder how different it would be if the ending was a bit more ambivalent or dark though.

3 O Clock High.   This is basically a western set in a high school in the 80s.  And I had no problem with it.  It's kind of funny how the mai character tries to find ways to get out of the fight and fail.  I found the part where he ended up seducing the English teacher pretty hilarious but that might not play as well today.

Election.  ok I think I saw this at some point on one of the networks in the 2000s.  It seemed like it ran endlessly.  Anyway, this thing is black comedy at it's best.  Everyone knows or has known a "Tracy Flick" like person, the only question I have to ask is is that person really happy?  It seemed the other characters at the end were far happier than she was.

The Innocent  A heist film that isn't a heist film.  It's really a French melodrama about love and family and...acting.  And you know what?  I got sucked into it and didn't give a damn about the heist film.  The other stuff was more interesting (Dead Presidents is also like this).

The Crimson Rivers.  I've seen this thing a few times AND read the novel it's based on.  And the movie never explains the main plot that well and I'm still a little confused at the ending.  It's not a bad ending though. But yeah, I found myself gravitating toward the secondary plotline involving Vincent Cassel.   also this got turned into a TV series that I haven't seen.

I wish Oppenheimer was shorter.  It's 3 hours + previews which takes up 10 mins at least.  My bladder can't handle all that .

The template has been set for the industry.  It's sequels (MI, Indy 5, Fast Whatever), pop culture stuff (Barbie, Mario etc) , retconned remakes (Ghostbusters, Oceans 11 etc) and if you're lucky to be a name director (or an "it" director) there's a chance that your movie will be shown at the cinema.  I don't see it changing.  Even if they do less superhero movies, it'll just be replaced with some other mindless genre junk.

Nah.  This one I believe.  If he's been in the studio/writing since Illusions had been released in 1991, then yeah I consider it "working". I mean he doesn't have to have recorded anything in those years.

Why he got pissed off at Moby (and continues to to this day) for asking that Q is the weird part to me.
